Well my build was going great until it was time to install my motor(tekin red line 6.5) (saddle setup)).... Could not get it to fit. Has this ever been a issue?

I already have 2 sets of saddle packs. But after 2hrs of cussing n such, I switched over to shortty setup.........anyone need saddle packs lmfao

After every 2 race meets the oil in the front and rear diffs seems to leak almost completely. Is anyone else having problems with leaking diffs?

Running 10/100/5 i literally went 7 race/practice days and I have not had a drop leak out. I can only assume the orings or gasket is damaged or missing. These diff's are great.

I ran the saddle setup all winter and like how it runs, to me was worth the effort of a lil Dremel work.

Let me know what you have for Saddle pack's, I might want them.

The two orings and gasket are definitely not missing in both the front and rear diffs. It is interesting that only the front and rear diffs leak and not the centre diff. I am truly puzzled as to why they leak.

I've recently been having center diff leaking issues. Rebuilt yesterday, we'll see how it goes...

My son and I have had a couple leaky diffs from original build, but after refilling and the re tightening haven't had any issues. Not sure if it was just the new tight plastic but they have all been fine since.
